Setting Aruba AP 60/61 Parameters
1. From the apboot prompt, configure the host information, if necessary.
In order to provide centralized management of the APs, each Aruba AP
downloads its software image and configuration files from a master Mobility
Controller.
Setting the correct host information depends on the following:
z Does your network use direct IP addresses or DNS with host names?
z If using host names, is aruba-master acceptable for the master Mobility Con-
troller, or do you need to define a different name?
Depending on your answers, select one of the following steps:
z My network uses DNS and the aruba-master host name is acceptable.
This is the default. It requires your DNS to be configured to resolve
“
aruba-master” to the IP address of the master Mobility Controller. Unless
your system has been previously configured for different settings, you
can skip to Step 2.
Otherwise, if your system was previously configured for a different
setup, manually set the
servername environment variable to the default
host name:
N OTE : The master and serverip environment variables also affect how AP
source files are selected and should be cleared when using this
approach. To clear a variable, enter the
setenv variable command with
no host name or address value:
apboot> setenv master
apboot> setenv serverip
When finished, proceed to Step 2.
z My network uses DNS, but I will use a different host name for the
Mobility Controller.
This requires that the servername variable be configured with your chosen
host name for the master Mobility Controller. It also requires that your
DNS be configured to resolve the specified host name to the IP address
of the master Mobility Controller.
To manually set the host name, use the following command:
apboot> setenv servername aruba-master
apboot> setenv servername <Mobility Controller host name>
